Lost Photos of the Titanic and The Stories Behind Them

The Main Dining Hall

This is a photo of the main dining hall on the Titanic. It's less fancy than the others, but still nicer than what the people on the lower decks got. This is another photo from before the passengers were loaded on.

This is a photo of Captain Edward J. Smith and Purser Hugh Walter McElroy. The photographer, Rev. F.M. Browne, got off at the Queenstown stop and subsequently survived the sinking. Smith and McElroy perished.
